4:30am: Confucius Say: She Who Has No Organizational Skills, Stays Far Away From Fic Challenges
See spikesbottomboy, who is actually a girl.

See spikesbottomboy decide to run a Spike/Angel ficathon.

See spikesbottomboy screw up royally by not sending out pairing assignments to some of the participants, then sending a second e-mail to everyone announcing a delay in the ficathon because of the screw ups, which also didn't get to a lot of people, a fact which she only posted about in her LJ. As you'll see in the subsequent mess, she also didn't respond to multiple people's inquiries about it all.

See spikesbottomboy wank mysteriously about how she's considering leaving fanfic 4EVAROMG!!1!! just one day before the ficathon was supposed to go live. Also, see people ignore her drama and politely inform her of more of her screw ups.

Wank, spikesbottomboy, wank!

See people not get their stories, not realize that the deadline and the posting of the master list had been delayed, and most importantly, spikesbottomboy throwing a huge massive tantrum about getting too many complaints:

Death threats! Only not. )

OK then. Moving right along...

See the actual content of the "death threat", which apparently was just a polite inquiry into asking WTF was going on.

See spikesbottom boy say she'll "guess" that maybe in a week or so she might "look into" getting people to cover the missing stories, while asking for people to give "her muse" reasons to NOT LEAVE FANFIC4EVARR!1!1!!!

Could this possibly be the most poorly administered fic challenge in the history of mankind, or the most passive aggressive nervous breakdown fandom has ever seen? You be the judge.

12:18pm: The anime series Fullmetal Alchemist has been liscensed by Funimation.

And the crowd goes WILD. Many people are crying! Many lives are OVER AS WE KNOW IT! Someone suggests an official "death day" for the series! All in all, anime fans at their very elitist best.

EDIT: "wank_reporter"? What the hell? What an asshole.

Current Mood: dorky
8:14pm: Scary things come in small packages
Initially, it was OMGWTF material. But I smell wank brewing...

And this is H*R. H*-FUCKING-R!!!

(Though I was wondering when someone'd drag Strong Mad into the action. =P)

[Edit: Sorry for the lack of a "Not work safe" notice. I'd do it now, but, obviously it's been deleted. ^^;]

11:12pm: Wow, two in a row. Must be my lucky night. =P
Someone posts the prologue to an original novel of theirs in [info]yaoi. Contains highly controversial Gays Vs Religion-ness, but so far I admit it does look interesting. All is fine, until [info]croik begs to differ. The OP's response is a short, but simple "it's fiction".

Croik basically tells the poster no one will like her novel/take it seriously unless she makes some changes. Personally I think it could've been worded a little better...maybe leaving out the "You should do it so everyone else will like it" type stuff? But, she does have a point. (I'm not taking sides here.)

The OP gets a little defensive, other people add their voices.

Okay, so maybe it's not a full-blown "OMG U HAT MY STORY UR SO MEEEEEN!" or "Your story is crap cause I said so now never write again". But still...
